The girls again found themselves in the lounge of Sweet apple Acres. This time, they had one large envelope with a letter explaining it contained photos (with explanations) of each of the girls in their current relationships. The only other difference was that they had the 3 de-powered sirens with them, and as was becoming normal, Adagio was holding Fluttershy in her lap.
"No fair! Why do you always get to hold her?" Sonata was pouting "You always hog our cuddly little rabbit."
"Guess it's just my natural charisma girls" Adagio just smirked as she held Flutters to herself.
"Yeah, more like you're addicted to cuddles" Aria was still grumpy though it had seemed to lessen after Fluttershy took them in.
"Now girls. No fighting. We came here to see what these pictures are, after all" Fluttershy had a glowing blush but was still coherent.
The others had already opened the envelope after realizing that it was the sirens usual argument. AJ and Rarity where looking at the same picture which contained their pony selves, (who seemed to have grown since the last set of pictures) and who they realized after a moment were Soarin and Big Mac. Soarin had his wings around Pony Apple Jack who looked quite happy, while Rarity was standing next to Big Mac with her head on what would have been his shoulder. Both girls were just blinking slowly.
Pinkie was staring at her picture in panic it contained 2 pink ponies. One was lighter with a fluffy mane and a large smile. The other was more dull with a straight mane and a small but happy smile. They were sitting side by side and looking at the camera.
Rainbow had looked at her picture before twitching, her eyes glassed over and she passed it to Fluttershy before passing out. it contained pony Shy in her true form with pony Dash, a gryphon and the part that made the sirens' eyes widen. There were about 2 dozen changelings (which the attached note explained were the children of the 3 in the picture).
Fluttershy was teetering on the edge of consciousness when she was suddenly squished between the 3 sirens who were glaring at the picture as if it was a personal insult. Rainbow by this point had regained awareness, only for Aria giving her the universal sign of "I'm watching you" to be the first thing she sees.
After they all took calming breath they shared the pictures with the others and their opinions. Rarity's reaction was the loudest. "I just don't understand it. I will admit that Macintosh is a kind and helpful man but what prompted my counterpart to seek a relationship with him?"
AJ was just as confused "I don't get why Soarin' would be interested in me. I'll admit he's an okay guy but what did they have in common?"
The Sirens spoke up soon after, though their reactions were quite different "Listen here, Skittles! We don't care how well you know Flutters. If you try to take her from us, we will hurt you" This was said in the same synchronization as when they sang making it just that much more terrifying.
Pinkie was panicking "The doctors told me she wasn't real but, if she has a pony form, does that mean she was? Did I chase her away did they? Did we, did we kill her." The girls had been let in on the secret of Pinkies younger years so they quickly had her in a group hug even the (slightly confused) sirens joined in. They managed to calm her down after a fair bit of effort and continue the next picture she had contained Maud and the Tree of Harmony. They were initially confused till they read the letter explaining how she met the tree and 3 hours later, asked it to marry her. Then the confusion reached critical mass.
After they all calmed down over some apple juice, they brought out the remaining photos. Midnight and Nightmare was nothing new, though it did confuse the sirens when they saw the dark alicorn (They thought she was still evil). They could still not believe that the creature responsible for organizing their defeat was in fact a tree spirit, though based on the picture it looked like she might also be part sea spirit.
The only other picture contained Spectrum Shadow (Midnight and Nightmare's daughter) They still had no idea how that one worked. 2 Ponies that, it was explained, were Apple Bloom and Sweetie belle, a changeling with orange eyes and a purple mane which was Scootaloo, who Shy and RD (pony) had adopted. This caused RD and Shy (Human) to go wide eyed and the Dazzlings to glare at Rainbow again. The other fillies in the picture were the pony forms of Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon .
Pinkie was examining the photo when she went pale and hide when they asked her she just pointed at the pony Diamond and said "Look at her teeth, they said normal ponies don't have sharp teeth." upon further inspection the girls realized that Pinkie was right. The filly did in fact have fangs. The letter attached said she was a vampony. The girls blinked before the sirens and Sunset were bombarded with questions. This was going to be a long day.
